Gameready Drivers or Studio Drivers? It does not matter to chief which you use, I use both depending on whether a particular Driver is stable or not. Chief is not directly supported by Nvidia in either driver, but many Other Apps are directly supported by the Studio Drivers , so it maybe worth using them if you also run other 3D software , like Maya, Blender, Vray etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief_QA Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 We recommend using the Nvidia Studio drivers, they are more stable, go through more extensive testing, and are on a scheduled release cycle, plus we get the pre-release builds so we are able to test and provide any feedback to Nvidia, if needed. We don't evaluate the game ready drivers, they are released randomly and too frequently for us to track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHCanada2 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 thanks the studio drivers are a bit of a risk for me as gigabyte says to download drivers from their site (as does NVDIA says to download from manufacturers site), and Gigabyte does not have the studio drivers on their site But I downloaded them anyway two weeks ago. I get crashes but I'm not sure it is CA as I get them on Netflix on edge as well. I just move to chrome yesterday so I'll see if it makes a difference. I never had a problem with my old laptop with the 1xxx NVDIA card, so i think it might be the 30xx card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had a problem with my old laptop with the 1xxx NVDIA card, so i think it might be the 30xx card As noted above Chief now recommends the Studio Driver for Chief as it is "supposedly" more stable and tested more by Nvidia. But I switch between Studio (SD) and Game Ready ( GR) as needed etc if Issues arise. I have never heard the "Advice" you mention and have always download the latest Drivers Manually from Nvidia, as most Manufacturer's don't update their website often ...or at all... but you can let the Driver install Geforce Experience as well ( I don't ) and it will do Updates for you as well, I just prefer to be proactive in this type of thing. No crashes yet on this Latest Studio Driver......... Version:472.84 Laptop? 1 thing to check would be that Netflix is using the Nvidia card and not the iGPU *I do however used Intel's Driver and Support Assistant App (DSA) on both my Laptop and Desktop to keep all the Intel Drivers Current.

SHCanada2 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 after you search for your diver at NVDIA below the results is: Although GeForce Game Ready Drivers and NVIDIA Studio Drivers can be installed on supported notebook GPUs, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides certified drivers for your specific notebook on their website. NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM for recommended software updates for your notebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVIDIA recommends that you check with your notebook OEM for recommended software updates for your notebook. Laptops ( your Sig. doesn't mention that ) can be a bit different due to the iGPU and the need for compatibility between the Intel and Nvidia Driver , but the above warning is based on both parties passing the buck when it comes to uneducated Users and having to provide Customer Support. I have no issues on my Asus Laptop (2070s) in my SIG with this Driver but I do run DSA to make sure the iGPU and Wifi/BT are all current , but I encourage you to do what you feel comfortable with , I have been supporting and build computers since the 90's and am hence comfortable doing my own Support Let Geforce Experience do it for you if you are not comfortable running the Installer yourself... https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/ Mick.

Joe_Carrick Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I tried downloading and installing the latest driver. It wouldn't install because I'm still on Windows 10. I've been wary of upgrading to Windows 11 - I would need to install a upgrade file and I don't want to take any chances. Any advice would be appreciated, including how to get the required file.
